==Mission==
==Mission==
[[Dwaine]], [[Jethro]] and Carl are all being idle, until Cesar comes in the garage in a [[Remington]]. Cesar has found yet another car on the wishlist but the [[Stratum|vehicle]] is too fast and the driver is too quick. Cesar is infuriated since he cannot catch the car. Carl then comes up with an idea to use stinger traps in order to stop the vehicle and have a chance obtain it, as its tires will be punctured.
[[Dwaine|Dwayne]], [[Jethro]] and Carl are all being idle, until Cesar comes in the garage in a [[Remington]]. Cesar has found yet another car on the wishlist but the [[Stratum|vehicle]] is too fast and the driver is too quick. Cesar is infuriated since he cannot catch the car. Carl then comes up with an idea to use stinger traps in order to stop the vehicle and have a chance obtain it, as its tires will be punctured.


Carl gets in a [[Tampa]] modded with three stinger traps and follows the driver in the desired vehicle, who is working here way towards [[Whetstone]]. Carl eventually releases a stinger to pop the tires of the vehicle, which also results in the driver fleeing. Cesar phones him, checking on how it's going. Carl says he already got the vehicle, and says that he'll fix it first. Carl does so, and takes the vehicle back to the garage.

'''Cesar Vialpando''': I tracked one of the cars on our shopping list, but the crazy bitch, she drives like the devil! I've been following her for hours, but she stops for nothing! You'd have to ram her off the road in order to get a chance to get her car and you know a wrecked car is no good to us! I swear she is playing with me!

'''Carl Johnson''': Dude, calm down! If she's playing with you, the she probably won't get one-time involved until it turns ugly. We gotta find a way to stop here, or to slow her down.

'''Cesar Vialpando''': Too bad we can't involve the [[police]], 'cuz then they could pop her crazy bitch tires and bang her crazy bitch ass in jail for being a danger to my sanity!

*Playing this mission after [[A Home in the Hills|Carl's re-entry into Los Santos]] and just before [[Riot (GTA SA)|Cesar's return to Los Santos]] will provide a reasonable context over Cesar's frustration and intent to stay back for long. In the former case, Carl receives a call from Kendl saying that she will first pass through San Fierro, and in this mission, Cesar possibly conveys that the Stratum was the last car on his wishlist. This is why, it is also possible that Cesar must have decided to return to [[Mulholland]] upon Carl's intervention after things had [[Grove 4 Life|settled down with respect to territory]] for the [[Grove Street Families]]. He might possibly have rung Carl from the airport before leaving, and by the time he left for Los Santos, Carl had brought the Stratum to the garage.
*This is the last chronological mission in which a song in the Radio Box Set soundtrack of the game can be heard. The song in the opening cutscene is the reggae dub song "King Tubby Meets the Rockers Uptown" by Augustus Pablo, which can also be heard on K-Jah West.
